I read on the City’s cart ordering page that the City received a grant towards the purchase of recycling carts, does this apply to smaller carts as well?

The city did receive grants from both the Recycling Partnership and the Ohio EPA towards the purchase of 64-gallon recycling carts. The intent of the grants is to encourage participation in weekly recycling collection to divert recyclable materials from going to the landfill. The grants require that for weekly recycling collection a 64-gallon cart is required to be eligible for funding. Therefore, we are encouraging our residents to utilize a 64-gallon recycling cart. The grant does not cover the smaller cart.
